Facts about Katanin p60 ATPase-containing subunit A1.
Microtubule release from the mitotic spindle poles may allow depolymerization of the microtubule end proximal to the spindle pole, resulting in poleward microtubule flux and poleward motion of chromosome. Microtubule release within the cell body of neurons might be required for their transportation to neuronal processes by microtubule-dependent motor proteins.

Predominantly cytoplasmic (PubMed:9658175). Localized diffusely in the cytoplasm during the interphase (PubMed:10751153). During metaphase is localized throughout the cell and more widely dispersed than the microtubules. In anaphase and telophase is localized at the midbody region (PubMed:19261606). Also localized to the interphase centrosome and the mitotic spindle poles (By similarity). Enhanced recruitment to the mitotic spindle pol
